Pro tip you can schedule an Uber at the beginning of the night and it’s not effected by surge prices just make sure to get there at the scheduled time

Do you mean like schedule the Uber ahead of time before the night starts ?

I bought premier parking passes for the past couple years and I have to admit, it does save time on driving by at least an hour. The exit for premiere is after the GA exit, so you get to see the carnage that is GA parking as you blow by going like 80 mph lol. Definitely worth the price!

If you can get a spot in camp, DO IT. It is 1000% worth it. There are showers, you can get earplugs and a face mask and you will sleep comfortably. I slept like a baby last year because I went prepared and it is cheaper to camp than get a hotel if you are in a group of at least 5

What extra preparations, if any, did you make for Camp EDC? I've never done it and would hopefully like to experience it in the future

@lorena.e 3 жыл бұрын

Francisco Gamboa I 100% recommend Mack’s earplugs (the brown ones) you can get a pack of 10 at Walmart, they are AMAZING. You just need to make sure you put them in correctly because it’s easy to put them in incorrectly. Get those and get a basic eye mask from the dollar store if you want complete darkness. I personally recommend an RV since that’s what I’ve done, and it’s actually pretty cheap when split between 8 people. You also have a fridge and microwave if you get an rv so you can take your own food and save quite a bit on that and can take frozen food as well. Also, go to at least one after party if you can! And lastly, make sure you schedule your day outside of the festival and by that I mean, make sure you’re not getting ready for the festival too late in the day so that you have the maximum amount of time in the festival. It might seem like you have all day beforehand to chill and explore, but at least make sure you are keeping track and if you’re planning on going in at a specific time, that you are ready. It is really easy to go in later than what you originally planned because you were sidetracked. Oh one more actually, try to take a shower as early as possible (after waking up is fine)

@franciscogamboa6475 3 жыл бұрын

@@lorena.e for sure, what about if you wanted to get to the strip or somewhere outside of Camp EDC? Are you allowed to leave after you've checked in for the weekend?

I've been to edc solo almost every year since 2007. Yes I choose it cus i have way more freedom. For transportation I personally would not recommend shuttles, ive heard horror stories from close friends that it takes forever to & from the festival. I would get a hotel right off the strip its much cheaper, after all your going to be sleeping mostly when not at the festival. Driving is the best option or take the helicopter(pretty awesome experience). Don't stay till the very end each night its a major hassle getting out. Never plan your night, let the music take you on a journey.

Shuttle outside hotel vs shuttle at hotel. Try to stay at hotel where shuttle is leaving. Shuttled two years away from hotel and tried staying at the hotel where shuttle was at .. such a game changer! Cuts time down to eat or go to sleep

We stayed at the Venetian last year, please please guys do not waste your money we had the worst experience. So many hidden fees , yes it is a very nice hotel but TBH I didn't think the suite was worth what we paid. And it took for ever to get in and out of the hotel.Also keep in mind hotels are a little pricier than usual because it is a peak week & all you really are going to be doing there is sleeping💙

How do you find out about meet ups?

@toshay10480 3 жыл бұрын

NO....not booking.com. They suck. They are a 3rd party company that really don't save you money. The 4queens and Hotel Apache has no resort fees. For camping VS staying at hotels, you can camp for free off of lake mead Blvd at this place called government wash. Especially if you arrive at the pay post before or after they arrive 8am-430pm. It's also near the freeway to get to EDC. Also there's a road that can get you to EDC from the opposite end from the the strip. So instead of heading northeast you'll be heading southwest on the freeway. They can shower at the gyms and can most likely get a free week pass at LVAC or 24hr. GA vs ga+ & VIP, ga with shuttle is the best way to get in and out of EDC..... PERIOD! 😁👍 New shoes that's meant for running or jogging is a definite MUST! And even though weed is legal in Nevada. I would advise that then doing anything else including drinking. Edibles is the best. BUT DO NOT BUY DRUGS AT THE EVENT OR BRING IT CAUSE IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!

How would you say this advice differs for EDC Orlando?

@EmmaKapotes 3 жыл бұрын

It's pretty different! I haven't done VIP at EDCO, but it's a much smaller experience than Vegas. Orlando has 4 stages, Vegas has 8. The VIP area at kinetic field in Vegas is massive and has a ton of cool stuff in there. Either way it's a more elevated experience and it's a nice option if you don't mind paying more, but Vegas definitely offers way more.

As someone who is spending Labor Day Weekend here in Vegas I can easily say that Vegas is about 80 - 85% back to normal. Crowded casinos and sidewalks, nightclubs are open (tables must be reserved), restaurants all indoor dining, about 60% mask usage, but honestly no one really cares here. Another couple months and Vegas will be back at 100% full swing maybe even more so, because many are so eager to return.
